Parents of Terri Schindler-Schiavo Told to Pay to See Their Daughter

Clearwater, FL May 7, 2004: In yet another bizarre twist of the Terri Schindler-Schiavo case, the Schindler family was informed that they must now pay a fee for “security” each time that they want to visit their daughter.

On Wednesday, May 5, 2004, Deborah Bushnell of Dunedin, an attorney representing Michael Schiavo, faxed a letter to attorneys representing the parents of Terri Schindler-Schiavo.

In her communication, Ms. Bushnell recommended that Ms. Schiavo's parents could be permitted to visit their disabled daughter if they would agree to hire an off-duty police person to accompany them. This comes after attorney Patricia Anderson, who represents Ms. Schiavo's parents, filed a Writ of Quo Warranto, demanding that Mr. Schiavo demonstrate what authority he has to deny his wife visits from her immediate family. Should the Schindlers fail to pay, they would be denied visitation rights.

Ms. Schiavo currently has an off-duty police person, paid for by Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, assigned to her on a 24 hour a day basis. Additionally, the Schindlers have reported that, during their visits, nursing staff frequently enter their daughter's room.

Ms. Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, have not been permitted to visit her since March 29, 2004 (39 days), when attorney George Felos of Dunedin issued a press release stating that suspicious marks were found on her arm. A toxicology study conducted on Ms. Schiavo concluded that no unauthorized chemicals were found in her system. Ms. Schiavo's parents, along with her siblings, had attempted to visit her the following day at Park Place Assisted Living and were turned away by nursing staff in compliance with "Mr. Schiavo's orders".

Statement of Attorney Patricia Anderson:

By recommending that the financially-strapped Schindlers may only visit Terri if they pay yet another off-duty police person to accompany them, is an effort to inhibit them from freely seeing their own daughter. A couple of years ago, Michael Schiavo contacted Terri's parents and offered to give the balance of Terri's money over to charity. He and his attorneys used this a talking point for the media - claiming that Michael had no financial interest in Terri's death. What they neglected to mention was that that particular offer was predicated upon the Schindler's agreeing to Terri's dehydration and starvation death.

This latest tactic from Ms. Bushnell is really no different. I will not be surprised if Ms. Bushnell uses this as another talking point with the media in an attempt to make her and her client appear less cruel.

No mother should have to pay an admission fee to see her child on Mother's Day. Perhaps Ms. Bushnell has forgotten how most people spend Mother's Day."

Your letters are excellent.

Mr Dyckman's reply is very telling:

However, I must tell you that as a person who knows the names of distant kin murdered by the Nazis, I am insulted whenever anyone attempts to equate the issue of Ms. Schiavo being allowed to die a natural death with the deliberate genocide they practiced.

So Dyckman thinks starving and dehydrating someone to death is a natural death. He dishonors his "distant kin" with his cavalier attitude towards the disabled.

OK I'll do my best to be brief.

Since around '96 Michael Schiavo (MS) has been living with his girlfriend Jodi Centonze. From info at Pinellas Co. Public Records it was found that the home is valued at $240,000.00 with a $15,000.00 pool. Sunbiz.org shows the Jerger Centonze Insurance Agency at the same address with MS on the doc as a registered agent as well as Richard M. Jerger Jr., but Jodi's name isn't on there except in the Company name.

Now we see from other info I posted that Jergers gave money to Jim King's campaign.

My vision is northward in the wintertime and a nice rest under a tree in shorts and T-shirt.

Mine is not to be killed in the first place.

[William Terrell]

I'm not too sure I want to live forever, but I'd certainly be interested in how you plan to do it.

[phenn]

What a silly remark. I don't plan on living forever, but I will happily go when it's my time - not when someone else says it's my time. Get it?

[Dead Dog]

considering the express "ticket" only costs about 30 cents, I'm a bit surprised they haven't bought him one. There aren't that many families with the sort of moral conviction and faith it would take to let the Lawyers and their client pull this crap for this long.

[William Terrell]

I plan to go when God makes it plain to me that it's time. I will resist any attempts to keep me back from it, including those that will feel pain when I die.

I believe in afterlife. For everybody.

Greer-B-Gone

Is there a realistic possibility that one of the two opponents to George W. Greer could unseat him? I fear that Greer will win simply because he has the needed name ID by gullible and ignorant voters.

One opponent. Two dilutes the voter pool. Money and prayer and exposure will help.

They might as well be saying Greer/Michael/Bushnell/Felos is great. Let's not let this happen to Terri.

Welcome to FR! I currently am updating my "Terri ping list". If you would like me to add your name, please let me know.

I have not read all of Felos' book, just excerpts from it. He is one cracked up egg as far as I go. His meditation has gone a bit too far. He's nuts!

Back in September there was discussion about the scientology aspect of this case. Have you read that before? It's a huge thread, but scientology was one of many topics covered.

That was my thought too. Govan is the only opponent, isn't he?

A ping list is just a list of names of Freepers who have an interest on a given subject. If I hear anything new about Terri, and your on my list, it means I'll notify you in your comments section. Then you can check out that thread. Sometimes it's the same thread but with updated info.

The thread is a HUUUUGE one, over 5000 posts! I can't remember exactly where within that thread it came up, but I'm gonna guess that it was somewhere between posts 700-2000. A lot of material was covered. I remember staying up late for weeks on end when I first found this thread. It was the first I'd heard of Terri. Don't be intimidated by it! Just take it in chunks and keep track of how far you've gotten in a little notebook or something. Takes notes and copy and paste to wordpad for easy reference. Good luck! Let me know if you find out anything that you think is really important. It could be that something was overlooked, and you've got the eyes with which to "see" it.

I call it the first monster Terri thread, cause there was another soon after that made it to like 2000+ posts.
